Kirby,

Wow it looks fantastic. Just curious, what did you use for the pivot points on the top frame? I have 2 I have to assemble

I am getting ready to tackle some pinstriping and you have given me inspiration. Now if I can just get my wife involved.

Love the photos.

I purchased a single pilot ray light from Preston Tucker’s grandson not too long ago.

 

I will look for his contact info.

Jim,

I think I have a couple manifolds with the spring in place.

I will check it out this weekend.

Is this your car?

The give away it is wrong is the lack of the PACMAN clip at the bottom. (or the top in my pic)

Jim,

I am showing the same choke rod for ’33-’38.

You can get one here and they are a work of art.

Jim and Randy,

 

I use Smooth-On for my Morgans. It is designed for laminated bow and arrow, bows. It is flexible but strong.

I developed another option. I used a 1/8″ Drill Stop Collar. I reamed the water jacket holes to be slightly undersized and press fit the collar into the hole in the plate. Bolted the jacket back on and center drilled the broken stud. I recommend using new 1/8″ bits

 

The installed collar is on the left bottom corner.

It looks like the 8 cylinder cars will need a 3/8″ rotabroach and the holes will have to be enlarged to 3/8″.  The 5/16 is too small

Jim,

Glad you had good results. Thanks for being the guinea pig.

You can thin it with the solvent to whatever viscosity you want. Tooth paste to pourable.

Billy,

 

Thanks for the reply. After looking at the transmission, I figured it slid on the snout. I am good and thanks

I figured it out, I had the wrong assembly sequence.

Thanks

Herb,

 

Beautiful car, getting a little too close to Carolina Blue though.

Are your brake linings molded or woven?

Glad you are mobile and I would rather have my car stop than go if I only had a choice of one or the other. It isn’t a Bugatti.

I took a rubber stopper that fit into the intake/exhaust ports, drilled a hole in it and inserted a long nosed air gun in it.

The air pressure will expose a ill fitting valve, need soap or some liquid on the valves to see bubbles and worn guides.

I had a couple valves that had slight leaks that had to be reground.

Could probably use as a test on an unknown engine.  Just turn to where the valves are closed, take off manifolds and insert the stopper, apply  air and look/listen for leaks.

I had previously cut the seats but here is the tool for doing that. Pilot is the diameter of the valve stem.

This is the valve setup with the spring to lift it off the seat so you can spread the compound

Gound seat.

Ground valve

Spring compressor and installed valves.

OK, does someone know what the purpose of the wound strip of steel around the valve spring is for, rigidity?

This spring is out of my ’35 engine, the ’33 ones were just straight. The small spring OD is at the top.
